Update (September 23) - Pricing, Kits, Vendors, GB
Soon
GB Thread Here
- It’s currently live so I’ll be locking this Friday morning
Thank you for following this set for most of this
year
. I expect this to be the last big update barring any
further 2020 shenanigans. I’ve been waiting for price and
vendor confirmation to post this update!
Group Buy Period: September 25 - October 9, 2020
Ashkeebs
Prototypist
Switchkeys
The
Key Company
zFrontier
Pricing (USD)
Core Kit: $90
Add-on Kit: $45
SpaceCables
collaboration for a matching cable will also be available
!
Here are the sets:
In the
prototype set
the navy/dark blue color was darker than intended. The final
product will be 5% lighter to closer match the pantone
chips, unfortunately the backlog for protos was too long to
get a another set done.
After much discussion with
friends and fellow designers, looking at poll numbers, and
considering my original vision, there won’t be a latin kit
option for this GB. For those of you curious I consistently
got only around 30 folks confirming they want a Latin alpha
kit across multiple polls that ranged between 85 to 155
responses. I understand this will disappoint folks and you
those of you whose decision to get this set is based on the
availability of a Latin alphas kit may no longer want to
join. Nevertheless, thank you for your interest and support!
Perhaps if this GB does well and the demand for a KAT
version is there we can offer a Latin alpha kit next
time!

Previous Updates
I talked
to TKC and we’ve decided on 3 different deskmat designs - 2
patterns and 1 ‘artwork’ one by me, ghstgrl (not an artist).
The theme is comfy and sleepy cats
I hope you’ll like them. Official names of the deskmats on
store pages pending but basically polka dots, triangles, and
comfy cats.

Adjusted the sublegends to accommodate JIS and ANSI
hiragana users
Thanks for the feedback
- Modified some of the Insert/Delete cluster icon mods as well as creating icon mods for the print/scroll/print keys
- Adjusted the backspace and enter icon lengths [
- Confirmed matching cable will be available
- [/m][/l]
- Yes, there will be proxies - I don’t know who yet but likely those whom TKC typically work with
- Infinikey’s backlog for protos is all the way up to January at this point so it is unlikely I will make any adjustments to the colors.

Hello I’m back many moons later with an update!
This update has been a long time coming because I’ve been waiting on prototypes! Yes, I have not renders but prototypes in hand.
Some of you might have had a peek at them on Alexotos’s recent Instagram post! Thanks for the lovely photos <3
Now that I have the protos in hand I also took a photo photos. This gallery has photos + comments on most of the images so please do take care to read the comments for thoughts and comments on the colors and dyesub! I took all of these photos on my iPhone with 99% of them in natural indoor light. I also included some comparisons with the Pantone chips I had.
Below are a select few photos and here is an Imgur Gallery full of them.
Notice here my comment about the thinner reverse dye-sub legends (a comment I made in the Imgur gallery).
TL;DR - Colors are good and meet my desires. The biggest note I have is that the reverse dyesub caps have thinner legends and I am told this is just a current limitation to dyesub techniques that is to be improved upon in the future. So do note that when deciding if this set is for you or not. - Design & Theme*

The theme of the set is the feeling of an lazing around in
an oversized hoodie on a cold day. The colors of this set is
inspired by the work of artist Daisuke Richard,
specifically this illustration. I’ve always liked Daisuke Richard’s use of colors in his
artwork. I’ve always thought of it as ‘soft/comfy colors’
even though he does use bold, bright colors in many of his
illustrations. I’ve been wanting more subtle/muted/soft
color keycaps sets so I’ve made the alphas the light pink
while using the dark blue for mods and the pale teal color
as an accent.The set has custom icon legends on some of the
modifiers and I welcome any feedback you have on the set,
including the name.I would like to touch on the discussion
on adding white to the design. I understand and agree that
having white on the keyset would be really great. The white
modifier/accent legends look really good and fit Daisuke
Richard’s design. in fact, I had even prepared an off white
to use on the legends. However, what I found is that the
more I worked on using the white legends the more I felt
like it wasn’t as close as the comfy theme is. I understand
that the pink legends on blue will disappoint some folks and
perhaps make the set no longer interesting but as my first
keyset design I’m trying very hard to stick to my original
vision. I hope you understand and I think a cooler color
palette with Daisuke Richard’s colors would look really cool
and maybe that can be a future keycap set
GH really hates my formatting attempts
